Yes, a lovely Tiger Swallowtail. Enjoyed your photos very much. Your gardens look so lush! Thank you for sharing and for providing plantings for them and congratulations on your little beauty. I'm sure more will follow.

Thank you ladies! I'm getting pretty good at finding them online, but still like others' opinions for my own learning purposes.

Mary, my garden isn't so much "lush" as I didn't anticipate how large certain plants were going to be, and everything ended up growing up practically on top of each other. Oops! Lesson learned for next year! Then there are the naked spots where nothing will grow and I am restraining myself from putting anything else in this year.
